‘1 Love’ tracklisting

Following thousands of suggestions from NME and NME.COM readers, the full tracklisting for the NME War Child album, ‘1 LOVE’, can finally be revealed.

The album project, which began last month when NME asked a number of contemporary stars to record versions of their favourite Number One singles of all time for a release to benefit the War Child charity, will feature a host of top names. The full line-up is below, with the name of the act they're covering, plus the year it was originally a Number One in the UK, in brackets.

Starsailor – ‘All Or Nothing’ (The Small Faces, 1966)
Feeder – ‘The Power Of Love’ (Frankie Goes To Hollywood, 1984)
Sugababes – ’Killer’ (Adamski, 1990)
The Muse – ‘The House Of The Rising Sun’ (The Animals, 1964)
Stereophonics – ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ (Sinead O' Connor, 1990; Prince original)
Faithless/Dido – ‘Dub Be Good 2 Me’ (Beats International, 1990)
Oasis – ‘Merry Xmas Everybody’ (Slade, 1973)
Elbow – ‘Something In The Air’ (Thunderclap Newman, 1969)
Ms Dynamite – ‘Back To Life (However Do You Want Me)’ (Soul II Soul, 1989)
Manic Street Preachers – ‘Out Of Time’ (Chris Farlowe, 1966)
Badly Drawn Boy – ‘Come On Eileen’ (Dexy's Midnight Runners, 1982)
Prodigy – ‘Ghost Town’ (The Specials, 1981)
Jimmy Eat World – ‘Firestarter’ (Prodigy, 1996)
McAlmont And Butler – ‘Back For Good’ (Take That, 1995)
Darius – ‘Pretty Flamingo’ (Manfred Mann, 1966)
More Fire Crew – ‘Dreams’ (Gabrielle, 1993

We reckon that The Coral should cover The Animals’ classic ‘The House Of The Rising Sun’ as the singer already sounds like Eric Burdon.
